It’s been quite the week for Ahmed Mohamed. The 14-year-old was arrested this past Monday at his Irving, Texas high school after bringing a homemade clock into class to show his teacher at MacArthur High School.  He was then questioned by police and taken into custody for building what the police call a “hoax bomb.” Mohamed was eventually released after police did not file charges.  However, that was certainly not the end of it, as the story went viral across the Internet.  Many supported Mohamed’s inventive curiosity — though some wondered how “inventive” the clock actually was — and President Obama even invited the teen to visit the White House.  Mohamed was hailed as a hero, with other tech leaders like  Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Box CEO Aaron Levie inviting him to visit their Silicon Valley offices. Now, Microsoft is showing Mohamed some love.  Enjoyed delivering box of tech goodies gifted by @microsoft to Ahmed! Mashallah! @ISta

A high school senior from Illinois tweeted this on Monday night during the announcement of the grand jury decision not to charge Darren Wilson with the death of Michael Brown The backlash was immediate as the girl’s tweet went viral on Twitter and Tumblr. The girl didn't delete the post and at one point said she only regretted the tweet had a typo in it. Twitter users started sharing all of the girl’s personal information. Then people began mass emailing her high school. The school received so many emails, apparently, that it was forced to issue a statement, saying in part, “We assure anyone who read those comments that they do not reflect any of the teachings of this school district.” As of Tuesday morning the girl’s Twitter account was made private.
